However, the issuance of equity/shares in the implementation of any employee equity incentive plan or other incentive arrangements approved by the Investor Directors shall not trigger the adjustment under this Article 3.6. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company increases its registered capital using capital reserves pro rata to the registered capital of all the shareholders in accordance with the resolution of shareholders’ meeting, the Original Unit Investment Price of the Investor with anti-dilution right under this article shall be reduced pro-rata upon dilution. The Company shall bear the taxes and fees and costs incurred by the Investor due to the exercise of the anti-dilution right.

In the event any dispute arises from the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement and any matter relating hereto, the Parties shall first endeavor to resolve such dispute through amicable negotiation.

None of the Parties shall, or shall cause its affiliates, shareholders, directors, senior officers, employees, representatives or agents not to, directly or indirectly disclose the existence of this Agreement or any information related to the Equity Transfer and the Capital Increase (including any information obtained by such Party as a result of its participation in the negotiation and execution of this Agreement), except that (a) the prior written consent of the non-disclosing Party has been obtained, or (b) such information is required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable laws, and then only to the extent necessary to comply with such applicable laws or any rules or policies of any stock exchange, provided that the disclosing Party shall, within a reasonable time prior to the disclosure or submission of relevant information, seek opinions on such disclosure or submission from the other Party and, if required by the other Party, seek confidential treatment for the information disclosed or submitted to the extent possible.

The obligations hereunder shall be deemed as separate obligations and can be enforced separately. If certain obligation or obligations under this Agreement become unenforceable, the enforceability of the other obligations shall not be affected. The unenforceability of this Agreement against any Party shall not affect the enforceability of this Agreement between the other Parties. If any one or more provisions of this Agreement are determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in accordance with any applicable laws, or are required to be modified by any governmental authority, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or compromised in any respect.

7.6Integrity

 

This Agreement (including other Series C Transaction Documents and any other documents referred to herein or contemplated thereby) shall constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any other prior agreements or intentions among the Parties with respect to the same subject matter. From the effective date of this Agreement to the completion of the next round of financing, there shall be no stipulations between the Parties to this Agreement and the Company and/or the Management Team with respect to shareholders’ special rights in any other form, otherwise such arrangement of shareholders’ special rights shall be deemed null and void.

7.9Precedence

 

If separate agreements (including but not limited to investment agreements, and the Articles of Association amended from time to time or amendments to the Articles of Association) are required to be executed in connection with the Equity Transfer and the Capital Increase in order to request the Governmental Authorities to take certain specific actions, this Agreement shall prevail over such agreements in full, and such agreements may only be used for requesting the Governmental Authorities to take such specific actions but not for establishing or evidencing the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the matters provided for by such agreements. If there is any conflict between this Agreement and the Articles of Association, the Parties agree that this Agreement shall prevail to the extent permitted by laws.
